Borrowers applying for a mortgage of £85,000 on a repaymentbasis over 25 years to buy a house valued at £100,000. Assumingcompletion takes place on 5th August 2002, gross monthly repaymentsfor the 36 month discounted rate period would be £472 followed by264 monthly repayments of £532 for the remaining term of themortgage. This example and the APR have been prepared on theassumption that the interest rate applicable at the start of themortgage term will continue throughout but not after the discountedrate period and that the Society’s standard variable rateapplicable at the publication date (5.69%) will be applied for theremainder of the mortgage term without variation.

The interest rate is variable throughout the mortgageterm. The premiums, charges and fees are also variable. The APR andrepayments would, of course, be different if the Society’sstandard variable interest rate changes.

This is based on an interest rate of 4.49%.The APR for the whole loan would be 5.6%variable.

The total amount repayable to the Society by monthly repaymentswould be £157,405.This includes:

Initial amount borrowed

£85,000

Discharge fee

£55

If the mortgage is redeemed within the first 3 years, there willbe an early repayment charge equivalent to 6 months’additional interest on the balance outstanding. This additionalinterest will be charged at the rate that applied to the account atthat time.

It is likely, in practice, that the Society’s standardvariable interest rate will change on a number of occasions duringthe term of the mortgage. The APRs and payments set out in theseexamples would, of course, then be different.
